Some would say the Princess of Wales is living in a real-life fairytale. After growing up in quiet Berkshire, young Kate Middleton managed to win the heart of Britain's most desirable royal whilst studying at St Andrews University.
Prince William and Princess Kate's romance may be the best royal love story in history, but that doesn't mean there aren't several love interests in the pipeline for royalty's remaining bachelorettes and bachelors.
From Lady Eliza Spencer's long-term love to Princess Olympia of Greece's former beau and Count Nikolai's It-Girl girlfriend, keep reading to discover who royalty is currently dating.

The sweethearts recently relocated to Australia together, and Benedikte's Instagram feed is an It Girl's guide to fashion, food and travel. The glamorous Danish entrepreneur also owns hair accessory brand, BénéSoie, for which she designs silk bands and biodegradable hair clips with her mother and grandmother.
Benedikte spent New Year's Eve at the Opera Bar in Sydney, looking effortlessly cool in a sheer printed maxi dress from slow fashion brand Réalisation Par.

Peregrine Pearson
Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, god-daughter to King Charles, dated property developer Peregrine Pearson for three years before they split in November 2023. He is also heir to the fourth Viscount Cowdray.
The 28-year-old Greek royal appeared to confirm her romance with Peregrine in 2020 after sharing a photo with her beau on the Greek island of Spetses. Maria-Olympia's father, Crown Prince Pavlos, later posted a snap of his family enjoying lunch on the island, in which Peregrine could be seen at the table.
During their romance, Maria-Olympia and Peregrine were often spotted at high-profile events, and the future Viscount even accompanied the Princess to the wedding of Philippos of Greece and Nina Flohr on October 23 2021, in Athens.
